Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings arrived in theaters this past weekend, weaving new and familiar elements to tell an unprecedented story within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Among the film’s cameos from existing MCU characters was Abomination (Tim Roth), who briefly appeared in the fight club sequence alongside Wong (Benedict Wong). This marked the first appearance from the Incredible Hulk villain in over a decade, and with the character already confirmed to appear in the upcoming She-Hulk Disney+ series, fans are curious to see what his status quo has in store. Some have already begun to speculate about where Abomination was taken when he left the fight club through one of Wong’s portals — and according to Shang-Chi director Destin Daniel Cretton, the answer isn’t far away. During Episode 35 of ComicBook.com’s Phase Zero podcast, which featured Cretton and franchise star Simu Liu, Cretton teased that the decisions behind Abomination’s portrayal in the film were deliberate, and will be revealed “fairly soon.”
